I'm One of Those

Twas a fine day today. The snow of last night stuck and there was sufficient accumulation for the kids to use their sleds which they did. Natty and Jack walked over to the little hill this morning and I guess they got in a few good runs. Andy and I stopped way out on 600 just to watch them while they were sledding. Natty saw us out at the road and thought it must be time to go so they came. We were on our way to the Little Brick House for snow shoveling duties so I showed up with the entire crew. Fortunately it went fairly quick though I did have two boys decide to get out of their snow gear and then had them fighting over a snack pack... I am sure grandpa was just thrilled. Anyhow, we managed to get done, dressed and on our way before any customers came in.

Natty went over to her cousins house a little later in the day and Jack wanted to go back to sledding. I was in the middle of a project and sledding was not on my schedule. I figured I would be in for trouble if I didn't get Jack out there and Andy also wanted to go so I got them dressed and we went to the hill. I brought the camera and got a few pics. I am not uploading them right now though, it takes too long and I have just woken up after sitting here for an hour trying to get this started. I am going to bed officially here as soon as I wrap this up and will edit it tomorrow and add some stuff assuming the support of my children is evidenced. It has been a crazy week with them home from school. Keeping the house clean has been near impossible. We are going for somewhat tidy this week. So we will see how we end up tomorrow.

I actually have a great video of Jack and tried to upload it and after waiting for the process to complete I went in to the preview and it said errors occurred and to try again later. I am not going to worry about it. Here are a few pics of the trip. It was really cold and my hand was freezing every time I took a picture. It was almost as painful as stepping into Lake Tahoe. Anyway the one of Jack standing on the board was not his best look. He normally stood like a snow boarder would but just decided to go this way once. It worked I guess.






Had a great date tonight. If anyone, and most likely there is only the possibility of one, but if anyone has read my blog already you will note that this is now edited. I had a different title and was going to discuss thoughts from my date relative to the title. I was too tired last night and could not stay awake so my plan was to expand on those thoughts today. Alas I have changed my mind on that as it is a more private matter. I will report that I went out to dinner and then to this very exclusive antique shop with the beautiful Heidi. We made a strong attempt at building a puzzle - it was 300 piece but we simply could not knock it out as fast as I thought we would. Probably because I am not the savviest puzzle doer. Here is a pick of what we accomplished. I was working on the side that has nearly nothing done. Apparently I am not a great multitasker, if so I would have managed to complete this post last night while I was asleep at the keyboard.



I have to make one note before I close so that I do not forget it. Mom, Amy, Dave, Laura and Nigel were all over here watching the kids whilst I was out on my date. What a support group. Anyhow, they all wanted the inside scoop on how the date went. So I shared some of the date and what is happening with my little audience. I turned and asked Nigel how it sounded. He said he was hoping for a little more make out action or something like that. It was somewhat comical and mom jumped in saying something about a little action. Nigel had a great comment about how she did have good make out sessions - 8 times anyway. We all kind of chuckled and then Jack pops up his head from his special bed in the corner of the living room and says "I'm one of those" referring to being the result of a make out session. We chose not to discuss the finer details of the matter and just had a laugh. It was pretty funny.
